Witness
for Peace has worked for the past decade to change the senseless and cruel
U.S. policies toward Cuba. Along with our partners, we have identified
the strategic opportunity to end the ridiculous ban on travel by U.S.
residents to Cuba as a first step in building fully normalized relations with
our island neighbor. President Obama has promised to open up travel for Cuban
Americans to visit their families in Cuba, but we must seize this moment to
end the travel ban for all U.S. residents once and for all.

If
we mobilize now, we have the best chance we've ever had to end the travel
ban.
We now have legislation in the House of Representatives calling for an end to
the travel ban on Cuba for all Americans. "Travel for All" instead
of "Travel for None" or even "Travel for Some."

Take
action now: Ask your representative to co-sponsor H.R. 874.
The purpose of H.R. 874 is "To allow travel between the United States
and Cuba"- but the most important thing to remember about it is that it
will allow travel for all Americans--no exclusions. It was introduced by
Representatives Bill Delahunt (D-MA) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ), along with a
short list of original co-sponsors (below).

"Please
co-sponsor H.R. 874, the Delahunt-Flake bill "To allow travel between
the United States and Cuba."

This bill introduced by Rep. Delahunt (D-MA) and Rep. Flake (R-AZ) calls for
lifting travel restrictions to Cuba for ALL Americans, restoring our right as
citizens of the United States to travel freely, and takes a giant step toward
restoring our country's reputation in Latin America and the world.
